Travel Scooter
Travel scooters have been developed to be extremely mobile. Some travel scooters fold, while others are disassembled into smaller pieces.
Our lightweight mobility scooters can navigate cobblestone roads as well as climb an 8% slope. The front tires are larger to provide better performance on rough terrain. Some models even have a rear-mounted hitch for carrying baskets or boxes.
Lightweight
Travel scooters are lightweight and easy to transport. This is why they are perfect for anyone who has to travel, whether via car or airplane. They can easily fit in the trunk of your vehicle or be carried as checked baggage on the flight.
Our ultra-lightweight Scooters use aluminum that has been treated with heat and then TIG-welded for the frames and other components. This type of welding produces welds that are more durable, cleaner and more pleasing to the eye than the standard MIG welding used in nearly all other mobility scooters manufactured today. The frame of our lightest mobility scooter weighs half as much as that of the competitors. This allows you to transport your scooter for longer distances or over more difficult terrain.
In addition, our scooters are designed with the user's weight placed over the drive wheel. This reduces the tendency of front-wheel-drives scooters to spin on uneven or inclines surfaces. This results in a more smooth ride, and a significant reduction in the costly repairs associated with front-wheel damage.
Solid rubber tires are an additional advantage of our ultralightweight mobility scooters. These tires are far more durable than pneumatic (air) tires that are found on many scooters, and are more comfortable to navigate on rough roads and unpaved roads. Rubber tires that are solid are quieter than pneumatics and don't catch on obstacles.
When choosing the ideal mobility scooter for your needs, it's important to consider the weight of the scooter once it is assembled, including battery. You can do this by using our filters at the top of the page to filter by product specifications such as "heaviest piece" which specifies the combined weight of the battery pack and the chair.
Our scooters are powered by the modern lithium-ion batteries, which are extremely compact and lightweight. They also feature a high-impact case with a UL 94-5VB flame rating to ensure your safety. They are constructed of 100 percent Panasonic cells and are constructed to last for a long time. The batteries are able to be easily disassembled for transportation or storage.
Easy to Fold
Travel scooters fold up to fit in the trunk of your car or SUV. Some even disassemble into several smaller pieces for easier transport. This makes them suitable for air travel, where IATA luggage limitations on dimensions of suitcases apply. You can also get a scooter case that is specifically designed to shield your mobility scooter's folding mechanism from scuffs and moisture during transport.
